    The de-Broglie wavelength of a body of mass  and kinetic energy E is given by:_

    A)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mE}\]

    B)  \[\lambda =\frac{\sqrt{2\,mE}}{h}\]

    C)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{2\,mE}\]

    D)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\,mE}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    de-Broglie wavelength of a body moving with velocity v is given by                 \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\] ... (i) where h is Plancks constant. The kinetic energy of the body moving with velocity v is                 \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] or            \[mv=\sqrt{2Em}\] ... (ii) Combining Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\]
